Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Grove is frequently praised for its beautiful grounds, offering scenic spots for walks and nature enjoyment, with several guests highlighting the meticulously sculpted gardens. Dining experiences, particularly 'Feast on Cloud 9', and restaurants such as Madhu's and The Skewd, stand out for their creative and delicious food, not forgetting the outstanding breakfast with its vast array of options. Suites are often described as spacious, well-appointed, and spotlessly clean. While the hotel provides many activities, some guests have found the rooms to be a little small and dated.

pleasant stay with minor hiccups

room spaciousnessbathroom cleanlinessbar unpreparednesslong wait
i really love the glasshouse restaurant. it gives such a variety of food. i got a table on the lower level and i could see the views outside. my room was spacious, but it felt cozy at the same time. the bathroom was clean and large too.
i stayed in the clarendon suite for four nights over christmas 2024. when i arrived, i had to wait to check in. after we were shown to our suite, i notice the complimentary bar wasn't prepared how it should be. a bottle of wine in the bottle cooler was open and half empty.

the glasshouse served us coffee and ice cream on a sunday morning, it was quite nice. the staff were very friendly, they managed to combine elegance and warmth, it's really quite an achievement. we had biscuits with our coffee, and the waiter, jack, brought the children more biscuits without us having to ask which was really quite nice. sitting in the beautiful gardens, we decided to vacation there next year and book a holiday here for the family.
